Mofrad profiled in Innovations

May 10, 2010

Bioengineering Assistant Professor Mohammad Mofrad was profiled in this month’s issue of Innovations from the UC Berkeley College of Engineering.
The article explained Mofrad’s cutting-edge work in the physics of cellular mechanobiology, including complex projects formulating computer models of molecular-level mechanobiology. One explores the role of focal adhesion, a molecular “glue” that involves protein complexes stretching from outside to inside the cell. Another investigates the nuclear pore complex (NPC), a basket-like group of proteins that control traffic in and out of the nucleus,
